Excerpt from Patrick Bronte

"The Perfect trinity of highest female fame for England, " writes Swinburne, "is made up of three women, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Emily and Charlotte Bronte. They had intellect, and they had genius, yea, they had
The sweet and virtuous soul
That like seasoned timber never gives,
But when the whole world turns to coal,
Then chiefly lives."

Do you wish to understand an author, study the associations of his birth and youth, study his parentage and home, his education, the times he lived in, and the various influences unto which he was subjected, and he, too, will be seen, in large measure, like you and me, the outcome and victim of the radiance of circumstance.

The trio of the Bronte sisters, do you know them? Charlotte, Emily, Anne.
